Tugu Bali: "Amazing Hotel with the kindest Staff ever!"

Review by: mentkapto | Source: Trip Advisor
"I have always been passionate about learning and embracing the local culture whenever I travel and Hotel Tugu brought me the perfect balance between Western commodity and Indonesian Traditions The staff was genuine and friendly and they made sure all our stay was special and unique. From the setup for the breakfast on the outside area to the afternoon tea on the raised bed in the garden area it was all perfectly planned and executed. On our second night we had the pleasure to enjoy dinner while watching a Traditional Balinese dance performance. It was interesting to see such performance while enjoying some delicious traditional food in the majestic entrance hall. They also have a delicious Japanese restaurant next door with an amazing decoration and an original Chinese temple surrounding the tables area that was impressive. The Hotel is walking distance to the beach where we walked to see the sunset and see the surfers catching some waves while enjoying our Balinese coffee. Our room was on the upper floor with a beautiful view over the ocean and the most comfortable king size bed I have ever slept in. The room was completely filled with vintage and local items and a traditional bath tube for a late evening bath after exploring Canggu area. The swimming pool made the perfect spot for my girlfriend to read a book and sunbath. On our last night it happened to be my birthday and the hotel staff surprised me over dinner with a delicious birthday cake. If that’s not the ultimate definition of a perfect hotel, I don’t know what could be. Will be returning again on my next trip to Bali and recommending to my friends back home."

Locavore: "Diana"

Review by: avalon207 | Source: Trip Advisor
I wrote a review two days ago and got the name of the restaurant wrong! Now I want to redress that. Restaurant Locavore was superb! We went for my daughters birthday and we all had such a great experience. The food was awesome; the generosity of courses was amazing and the staff were kind, friendly and completely professional. This was our second visit in two years and we look forward to visit number three next year!

We spent 3 nights in this hotel. What about as the superlatives are many. We stayed in the bungalow and what comfort .... it is a quiet intimate place a splendid view of rice fields. Possibility to join the center of Ubud on foot in 20mn through rice fields and villages. I highly recommend The breakfast is fabulous and the meal restaurant Terracotta Go there with confidence

Tugu Bali: "Heaven in the middle of Canggu"

Review by: osiris m | Source: Trip Advisor
It has been a few weeks now since I left this incredible place and I can't stop thinking about it. Just has Tugu Lombok, this resort is quite special and really impressive. Its architecture, design, art pieces, structure and AMAZING food converts your nights and days spent in that place in real dreams. I really recommend the resort, because you'll never forget it.

Babe: "Awesome, loved it!"

Review by: jcjy77 | Source: Trip Advisor
The moment we walked in, we were pleasantly surprised by the wonderful direct view of the KL skyline. We went on a Tuesday and we had the entire restaurant to ourselves (hint to romantic couples!). We had to pay a non-refundable deposit for our reservation, probably because the restaurant needed to prepare the ingredients which were really top-notched. We took the 11 course tasting menu, and everything was quality, unique, pretty and delicious!! There were cool surprises in between too. It was an awesome experience!

Inle Princess Resort: "wonderful stay"

Review by: marty2406 | Source: Trip Advisor
this location is way off the beaten track. Not very popular but worth the trip to see how these people live and flourish while literally living on the river in different villages. Fishing and floating farms provided the sustenance. Hotel was excellent, good food and lovely accommodations. You take boat trips to get around this huge lake. Lots of fun.

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Perfect desert island"

Review by: Ruth K | Source: Trip Advisor
Heavenly escape. Stunning empty beaches and classy set up. Individual beach houses with a central clubhouse which served up delicious and sophisticated menu with a limited but daily changing menu. This is not for folk who like to dress up for dinner in their best clothes. But perfect for anyone looking for a trendy but very relaxed vibe. Each beach hut is owned by individuals so each one different. Huts on beach are lovely. Sea lulls you to sleep.Everything was gorgeous but in an understated way. Travelling with husband and two young adult kids and we all loved it. Spa good and bar had a pool table. Nothing much to do - no shopping or places to go. Just beach, snorkelling, market trips, a boat, yoga and total unwind. Great staff. Perfect if quiet and peaceful is what you're looking for.

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Beautiful lakeside fine dining with perfect service"

Review by: Mark D | Source: Trip Advisor
"Last night we had the most beautiful dinner at Seeds. With personalised service and attention from the owners and their extremely well trained, attentive and friendly staff, this is a perfect restaurant for a business or a romantic dinner. The delicious canoes, home made truffle ravioli with truffle foam and perfectly cooked sea bass were absolutely in keeping with the chefs’ Michelin accolades. A wonderful balanced wine list with reasonable prices rounds out the perfect meal. The architecture is stunning too. Overlooking perfectly kept gardens that undulate down to the lake there’s even a stunning water feature fountain that appears to shoot out from the lake under lights. To top it off, there’s a private dining g room on a glamorous treehouse. Just amazing!"

A perfect & reasonable priced villa for a quick getaway and a relaxing laid back holiday...The manager, Mr Haan and the staffs are very hospitable and very dedicated to provide good service and assistance to ensure our stay is as comfortable and memorable one.Continental breakfast is excellent with fresh and warm croissants and good home made jam, and pretty table setting too...so lovely, ooh la la...All in all, we had a good time here and will come again soon...

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Assolutamente meraviglioso"

Review by: SoleLuna2003 | Source: Trip Advisor
Abbiamo trascorso al Sandat una magica settimana sperimentando sia l'esperienza in tenda che nel caratteristico lumbung. Entrambe le sistemazioni eccellenti, a contatto con una natura meravigliosa e lussureggiante. Accoglienza di una gentilezza estrema, location perfetta, navetta gratuita per il centro di Ubud, colazione ricca con ingredienti freschi e locali. Struttura rispettosa dell'ambiente, lussuosa, confortevole, discreta e con ottimi servizi (lezioni di yoga, escursioni, massaggi). Assolutamente consigliato, per farsi coccolare e sentirsi più che un ospite parte della "famiglia". Cinzia
